Turn On Selector Switch
This switch allows you to select how the
amplier will turn on and o.
In the ON (Up) position, the switch on the
front of the amplier is the method you
will use to power up and power down the
amplier. Please note that in this congu-
ration, you must manually power up and
power down the amplier each time you
use it or it will have unnecessary standby
current draw.
In the SIGNAL (Middle) position, the am-
plier automatically turns on whenever it
senses an audio signal on any one of the
seven amplier channels. The circuit stays
active for a 30 minutes after the absence of
any audio signal to account for quiet pas-
sages of music or dialogue and muting the
audio (for a phone call for example).
In the TRIGGER (Down) position, the ampli-
er’s ON and OFF functions are controlled
by a trigger from a source or preamplier
device. The trigger accepts 12 VDC and will
turn the amplier on whenever a trigger is
present (See #5). When there is no trigger,
the amplier goes into standby mode. This
is the preferred method for activating the
IPS-1.
External Trigger Connection
This external trigger connection allows
the amplier to be turned ON and OFF by
a control device such as a source unit or
preamplier. It can also be used with most
home automation controllers. The trigger
requires a 12 VDC trigger. This is the pre-
ferred method of activating the IPS-1. See
page 16 for connection details.
Fuse
This fuse is for the power supply of the IPS-
1 chassis. It is a TL15AL type rated a 15A
Slo-Blo, 250 V. If the fuse ever fails, be sure
to replace it with the same type and rated
fuse.
Power Switch
This switch should remain in the ON po-
sition for normal operation of the IPS-1
amplier. When you are away from your
entertainment system for long periods,
this provides a convenient way to switch
the unit o without having to unplug power
cords.
IEC Line Cord Socket
The IPS-1 comes with a detachable line cord
which connects here. Plug the line cord into
an AC wall socket which is correctly con-
gured with the voltage and current supply
specied for the IPS-1. Do not plug this line
cord into a power strip, it must plug directly
into a wall socket. For more details on AC
power considerations, see page 13.
